Infused with melanin, these magnifying reading glasses prevent eyes from tiring as you read or view a computer monitor. By age 65, eyes lose about 50% of their reserves of melanin, the pigment that gives eyes their color, protects from UV damage, and reduces glare naturally. The synthesized melanin in the lenses compensates for aging eyes' increased sensitivity to glare by filtering out not only ultraviolet light, but also “high-energy visible” blue/violet light, the next most damaging part of the light spectrum. And though the lenses appear to be tinted, they in fact enhance the perception of true color by removing scattered blue light while improving contrast, as naturally occurring melanin does. The lenses are treated with a scratch-resistant coating for long life and are supported by a nylon wire on the bottom that reduces overall weight. The stainless metal alloy frame features adjustable nose pads and integrated spring temple hinges. Not available for shipment in New York. Specify magnification: 1.25, 1.5, 2.0, or 2.5. 1 1/8" H x 5 1/2" W. (5 oz.)

My husband has been wearing these at work and they are very well made and durable. You can tell they use high quality materials to make these and with the guarantee, you can't go wrong. He is pleased still too early to determine the affects of the melanin but the darker color doesn't change color or looks of environment.

This is my 2nd pair in 3 years (the others are in perfect condition but are lost somewhere in my house). When I read on my laptop, these glasses minimize the eye stress, fatigue and headaches that come with staring at the backlit screen. I tried other computer glasses without the yellow tint and found that I got headaches almost instantly. They also didn't provide the image clarity that these have. These glasses are great. And they're not even unattractive! I could use then for reading but tend against it because the tint darkens the page a touch, which could be good in a brightly lit room, but not in my dimly lit house. Thumbs up!

Product is light weight. My eyes are not tired when using the glasses in front of the computer a few hours at a time. I am very pleased with the customer service. When I sent in 2 pairs with the side frame broken for repair, the company just replaced them.

I will be returning the glasses, because the eye pads made huge marks on my nose...too heavy? Or just the type of clips?

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I am looking at a computer screen for about 8 hours a day. I have had headaches for years and have seen many doctors to find the cause. These glasses have done more for my headaches and fatigue than anything else I have tried. They are great!
